Take a moment and clear the desk of your mind. (If you're like me, that could take a while.)
Turn off the music, the tube, the internet -- yes, do it (in just a moment) and in the quiet, ask yourself, "What is keeping you from worshipping God with your whole being?" Be brutally honest. Is it lust, or greed, or anger, or something else?
When you get an answer (or answers), then ask God to answer that question for you. What does He say?
Isaiah 33:14-17 --
The sinners in Zion are terrified; trembling grips the godless: “Who of us can dwell with the consuming fire? Who of us can dwell with everlasting burning?”May you see the King in His beauty -- and worship Him.
He who walks righteously and speaks what is right, who rejects gain from extortion and keeps his hand from accepting bribes, who stops his ears against plots of murder and shuts his eyes against contemplating evil--this is the man who will dwell on the heights, whose refuge will be the mountain fortress. His bread will be supplied, and water will not fail him.
Your eyes will see the king in his beauty and view a land that stretches afar.
Selah
